So Close

Kate's 1 year birthday is approaching crazy fast. She was 10 months old this past Saturday, 8/8/09. Here are a few things Kate has been up to lately:

- started eating finger foods - she loves cheese puffs, fruit puffs, biter biscuits, waffles, and mandarin oranges - she has also tried mozzarella cheese, small shell noodles, and small cans of mixed veggies

- she has 5 teeth (3 top, 2 bottom) - 3-4 of them came in, in about 1.5 weeks time!

- she has been waking up alot in the middle of the night (like 3 times,can we say newborn!?!) but in the last few days she seems to be getting back to a regular 10-6am schedule (yes, my baby goes to bed at 10pm!, I am about to start working on that)

- she is REALLY ridiculously close to crawling - she is assuming position and then will take one movement with front hands, fall flat in middle then roll over - she is getting extremely frustrated with herself over this

- don't let this no crawling thing fool you though, she is still into EVERYTHING! seriously, she scoots around and makes her way to whatever she wants, I can not tell you how many times I have caught her in the bottom of the entertainment center!

- her favorite things to do to show excitement is to shake her head and clap her hands....so sweet! (she was doing it the other night in church...yikes!)

- speaking of church, kate has starting this new thing when everyone is singing she starts her loud monotone noise, she is trying to sing too!

- OH, and we believe she said her first word...DaDa! arghhhh! :) We were all loaded up in the van headed from the airport to the cabin in Colorado and Don popped up from behind the seat to look at Kate and she says "DaDa!"

I think that is all the updates for now. Love you sweet baby girl!
